.SH NAME
PCRE2 - Perl-compatible regular expressions (revised API)
.SH SYNOPSIS
.rs
.sp
.B #include <pcre2.h>
.PP
.nf
.B int pcre2_jit_match(const pcre2_code *\fIcode\fP, PCRE2_SPTR \fIsubject\fP,
.B "  PCRE2_SIZE \fIlength\fP, PCRE2_SIZE \fIstartoffset\fP,"
.B "  uint32_t \fIoptions\fP, pcre2_match_data *\fImatch_data\fP,"
.B "  pcre2_match_context *\fImcontext\fP);"
.fi

.SH DESCRIPTION
.rs
.sp
This function matches a compiled regular expression that has been successfully
processed by the JIT compiler against a given subject string, using a matching
algorithm that is similar to Perl's. It is a "fast path" interface to JIT, and
it bypasses some of the sanity checks that \fBpcre2_match()\fP applies.
Its arguments are exactly the same as for
.\" HREF
\fBpcre2_match()\fP,
.\"
except that the subject string must be specified with a length;
PCRE2_ZERO_TERMINATED is not supported.
.P
The supported options are PCRE2_NOTBOL, PCRE2_NOTEOL, PCRE2_NOTEMPTY,
PCRE2_NOTEMPTY_ATSTART, PCRE2_PARTIAL_HARD, and PCRE2_PARTIAL_SOFT. Unsupported
options are ignored. The subject string is not checked for UTF validity.
.P
The return values are the same as for \fBpcre2_match()\fP plus
PCRE2_ERROR_JIT_BADOPTION if a matching mode (partial or complete) is requested
that was not compiled. For details of partial matching, see the
.\" HREF
\fBpcre2partial\fP
.\"
page.
.P
There is a complete description of the PCRE2 native API in the
.\" HREF
\fBpcre2api\fP
.\"
page and a description of the JIT API in the
.\" HREF
\fBpcre2jit\fP
.\"
page.
